    Half the fun of e-bay is the really bizarre stuff.

    Ha ha ... the scammer that sells "HIDDEN TREASURE CALAGUAS ISLAND" has left his fingerprint on one of the photos.

  3. Re:Use OLD technology by TubeSteak · · Score: 1 · on The 100-Million Mile Network
    okay, its true that my mention of mainframes was a bit off the main point, but the general idea is that hardware used to be quite robust. My parents had a Sony Trinitron for about 15 years or so, and if you look at the picture, its obvious that the damn thing is built like a brick. Its replacement was expensive... but it feels so flimsy.

    My dad has always been a computer nerd and we have/had old stuff thats been running for years. But in the last 3 years we've had 5/9 hard drives RMAed (two deathstars and three seagate ultra160s), we've sent back motherboards, usb/firewire cards, modems... the list goes on. I realize a business is a different story, but nowadays most stuff dies in 3~5 years. Used to be that business wrote off old equipment for tax reasons, not because they stopped working.

    What should it tell him? That the product was developed by a guy that fights crime while wearing a purple leotard?

    Somehow, I'm not sure that helps us to determine anything substantial about the system.

  9. Toughbook? by anethema · · Score: 2, Insightful · on Panasonic Toughbook W2 Review

    I dont get where the toughbook part comes in. Old toughbooks were built into briefcase style things, some (maybe aftermarket added, cant remember) had like honeycomb pattern stuff built into the case. You could run the damn things over. This thing, while pretty, doesnt look like it could withstand a 1 inch drop, nevermind a 5-6 foot drop like the old ones. If you operated that in harsh working conditions I really doubt it would stand up.

    Like look at this one, couple years old:

    Picture 1

    Picture 2

    It looks quite a bit tougher.
